Looks like there won't be instructions, since, unusually for the studio, a picture of the complete H8K is included in the parts sheet. Anyway, it's the original version, with 3D engines and wing floats, so the instructions for the simple version should be enough.
Twelve new parts are for the engine nacelles (careful, the inner and outer rear nacelles are different); shaping the front of the floaters (the D-shaped gray part) could be tricky; and the spinners are flat.


BTW it's remarkable that, although whoever assembles the studio's models is certainly very competent, he/she consistently refuses to color edges; though this practice detracts a bit from the beautiful finished pictures, the white edges help a lot figuring out how parts and tabs fit, so perhaps it is intentional.

Here is a translation of the Japanese at the top next to the picture of the finished aircraft:
"Two type large boat
1/350 scale / high difficulty
There is no assembly manual.
Because assembling was difficult for beginners
Please be aware that the data has been discarded once.
Please assemble with reference to the image on the right.
※ There are different parts from the photo, such as the color of the spinner."

Here is a translation of the Japanese above the parts on the lower right:
"Fold it in half, paste it and cut it."

i think it's intentional to encourage young children to step into the hobby, as some of the models are part of education programs (example is the sd drydock and ijn mikasa)

thanks for the translation btw
